The title does not do this film justice!

This is not an exploitation/porno film as the title would lead us to believe.
It's actually a very sensitively and beautifully shot film, with clever pacing and very original use of natural locations. Indeed, I think the dreamlike atmosphere comes from the sheer unfamiliarity of the landscape, it's like nothing I've never seen in any other film, and it lingers on in the memory for years.
Neither Casablanca, Citizen Kane or The Godfather had that effect on me.

Criminally mistitled because it's nothing at all what you'd expect from it. The title attracting perverts looking for some cheap 70's Porn sex action couldn't be more wrong.

What you get instead is a rare and honest atmospheric piece of movie art that is a ghost story as original as Universal who brought you Dracula in Horror's golden age. This has nothing to do with the sex subject or whatsoever. Pure class act Horror right there. Highly recommended!

By definition, "orgy" does not necessarily refer to a sex party -- although the latter is the most common usage of the word. Dictionaries also define an orgy as an "uncontrolled or immoderate indulgence in an activity."

Just thought I'd share that with you.

That said, this movie is a creepy and atmospheric gem: a voyeur hero, a town full of aging (not to mention non-traditional) vampires who cut off arms and legs of their own kind in order to feed their human "guests," and some funky '70s music to boot. This movie definitely deserves better recognition and a decent home video release.
